We know it’s not 2026 yet and we still have a few more months before we ring in the New Year, but interior designers, influential industry leaders, and our team are already diving deep into what LBI custom home trends we could see in 2026. From color palettes and finishing touches to room design, our team at Stonehenge is scouring the internet for trends our homeowners may want to incorporate into their LBI custom home:
1. Let’s Talk Color
Like 2025, palettes that draw inspiration from nature and the world around us are taking center stage. From bold desert sun reds and deep ocean blues to sandy neutrals, we can expect Flooring is also considered to be one of the most overlooked aspects of interior design, but we can assure you that every last detail of our LBI custom homes is intentional. Large tiles, natural wood materials, and neutrals are on track to trend in 2026. Our goal is to ensure our homeowners’ design preferences take center stage, and that means sourcing floor materials that reflect those tastes.
2. Textiles, Patterns, and Furniture
Speaking of design preferences and painting, interior designers also foresee painted furniture such as kitchen cabinets. Painted furniture is a great way to either restore beloved pieces and give them new life or add a pop of color exactly how and where you want it. Alongside patterns in either accent pieces like pillows or artwork, industry experts also expect to see wallpaper that add another opportunity for eye-catching designs. Sticking with the natural theme, we can anticipate these patterns to appear more organic in design rather than having crisp, straight lines or hard-edge modern designs. Here on the island, there’s no better inspiration for your LBI custom home than our miles of scenic coastline! We love incorporating elements of our picturesque beaches and lagoons into our designs, and our team is always eager to help homeowners craft the perfect design that blends their style with the best of LBI living.
3. Bathrooms are the Heart of the Home?
While we all know that the kitchen is the real heart of the home, bathrooms are expected to share the spotlight in 2026. More specifically, designers believe that the concept of master bathroom design is going to see a renaissance by becoming a focal point for homeowners. At Stonehenge Building, we’re no stranger to spa-like en-suite retreats and are eager to see what 2026 trends will bring to this space. From what our team is seeing, we can expect to see more wood tones, ceiling-mounted showerheads, and other nods to nature through material choices such as stone tile work, natural color palettes, and soft edges.
